Explain what is observed when: (i) KCl, an electrolyte, is added to an hydrated ferric hydroxide sol.(ii) An electric current is passed through a colloidal solution. (iii) A beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Ferric hydroxide `FE(OH)_(3)` is a positively charged SOL, so it GETS coagulated by the chloride ions released from KCl solution.
(II) When an electric current is passed through a colloidal solution due to charge on the colloidal particles they migrate towards the oppositely charged electrode.
(iii) When a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution the PATH of light becomes visible.
